What is a home without a bible?

It’s a home where day is night,

Starless night, for on life’s pathway

Heaven can shed no light.

What is a home without a Bible?

It’s a place where daily bread

For the body is provided,

But the soul is never fed.

What is a home without a bible?

It’s a family out at sea,

Compass lost and rudder broken

Drifting, drifting, hopelessly.

What is a home without a Bible?

List and ponder while I speak,

It’s a home with a Bible in it,

But not opened once a week.

Lost! The Bible-lost! It’steachings,

Lost! It’s help each day in seven;

Lost! To live by-lost! To die by,

Lost! What’s lost? The way to Heaven!
